This is a great video, helped fix my garage door closing issue with remote after changing light bulb for the motor. I watched close to a dozen other videos and read blogs to understand what the issue is with garage motor and remote. The issue turns out related to using a LED bulb for motor which conflict with remotes signal, replacing LED with regular bulb resolved the issue. Thanks @TighWadDIY for publishing this awesome video, it saved $ for me to fix the issue.

You got me thinking about this. I have a few brands of CFLs and LEDs. If I take a portable AM radio next to them, some generate a lot of broadband RF noise and others are very quiet. I believe that the offenders don't have good filtering on their inverters and you can hear the distinctive square waves which generate many odd harmonics. The same problem exists with some solid state fluorescent light ballasts (I have in my garage.) The problem can also occur with some usb power supplies. I have an amplified TV antenna whose power supply blocked out all AM radio reception until I changed the power supply. It's strange that GDOs have their antenna hanging down blocked by a metal garage door which can be a problem from the outside.

Instant fix. Thank you so much.
